Linked News  

The Fixed Story Number (FSN) feature enhances user experience and makes usage of TickerNews stories more interactive. The feature makes use of the new concept of regular stories having a fixed ID or number.

TickerLinks are embedded in keywords that are highlighted in blue and underlined in text of stories. A related story will open up by clicking on these highlighted words in MarketView

For example in the Nov 15 story "TNS FM sees inflation easing to 6% by Mar, says won't prejudge RBI steps", a related story will open by clicking on the highlighted word in the following sentence in the story: Government data showed India's annual   inflation rate eased a tad to 8.58% in October from 8.62% in previous month though prices of food, minerals and fuel remained firm.

The particular news headline can also be searched subsequently in the TickerNews window with the help of the assigned NEWSID and specifying the date parameters as applicable.

In stories that have many related stories, a separate section, called TickerLinks, will be added after the end of the story. TickerLinks will provide keywords or headlines that will open the stories when clicked.
